Getting Out: Discover the majesty of the Muddy Mountains

When we flip through maps looking for destinations with scenic beauty and solitude, we generally find places with proper names and boundary lines that define them. Yosemite National Park, Henry W. Coe State Park, Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve and the John Muir Wilderness are all distinct regions carefully defined on a map.

Cats now ‘top dog’ in our homes

There’s an old saying that tells us a dog is man’s best friend. But new statistics indicate that this just ain’t so anymore. Today, the pet dog population in the United States is more than 67 million. But listen to this; there are more than 83 million cats living with human companions. Those darn cats. Somehow, they snuck up and took over as the most popular pet in America. Only fish outnumber them (there are an estimated 170 million pet fish in the United States), but that’s only because a lot of fish can fit in one small aquarium. So it seems that cats have it when it comes to being “top dog” in our homes.

God’s Prescription For The Brokenhearted

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a phone call from a loved one or friend whose world has just been turned upside down by tragedy? Have you ever groped for the right word to comfort someone whose grief is beyond words? In times like this, many of us opt for a conventional caregiving approach that first tries to settle them down emotionally, then moves to the "fix-it"/"make it better" stage where wise counsel is offered. With this accomplished, it is assumed that with the passing of time, the sorrowing person will return back to normal.
